Lords division · 26 Feb 2019 · No. 2

Mental Capacity (Amendment) Bill [HL]

Baroness Watkins of Tavistock moved amendment 25A, as an amendment to Commons Amendment 25, line 10, at end to insert:“(1A) A record of any decision and justification for not immediately giving a copy of the authorisation record under sub-paragraph (1) must be kept.(1B) If a copy of the authorisation record has not been given to those specified in sub-paragraph (1) within 72 hours, there must be a review of whether the lack of information was appropriate.”The House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Content), Lord McAvoy (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
